Whenever you're about to do something, just think, ”Would an idiot do that?” And if they would, you do not do that thing. - Micheal Scott

Hands down best book I ever read. Micheal G. Scott is my hero. Come other hero’s of mine would be Bob Hope... Umm, Abraham Lincoln. Definitely. Bono... and uh probably God would be the 4th one. I learned a lot from this bible if business. Best lesson... Adapt. React. Readapt. Apt. An employee of mine started a fire in the microwave trying to make a cheese pita. Firemen were here, whole big thing, and the godly words of Michael Scott saved my branch. Get your hands on this! That’s what she said.

I literally learned how to read just to finish this magnificent book!!
It's really make sense that it's sold more than the bible

The suggestion box is a great idea. Just the box not the suggestions.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned from this book, is how to properly declare bankruptcy. I didn’t say it, I declared it!

A book filled with Michael Scott quotes. How can it not be funny?
Only minuses were the misspellings and the fact that the book is very short

Förtrollande. Den bästa boken jag läst om ledarskap. Och så många spännande karaktärer som Ping, Mykonos och Prison Mike.
”A good manager doesn't fire people. He hires people and inspires people. People, Ryan. And people will never go out of business.”
